The short story is that there is no meaning to Siafoo. The long story is that the site is somewhat named after the Siafu ant. It has something to do with these ants working together effectively in great number and our vision for Siafoo to allow programmers to work together more effectively.

Yes. Obscure and esoteric code is great. The internets are full of the most basic examples in every conceivable language,
it's the esoteric stuff that's hard to find. And who knows, maybe someone can modify it to serve yet another obscure purpose.

It depends. If the content is of exceptionally high quality, we can probably do something for you. Contact us and
we can figure something out. You can also try our HTML to reST converter, it might save you a bit of time.

If you have some time, you can write a custom lexer for that language.
You can find instructions in the article How to write a Pygments lexer and on the Pygments web site.
Post your code on Siafoo and let us know about it. After we review it we'll add it to the site.
(Don't worry, we'll get to it fairly quickly.)

You don't. We will implement it at some point, depending on demand; drop us a line if this is something important to you. For now, you can upload the file to another website and place a link to it in your article/snippet/whatever.

Short answer: page layouts are easier and cleaner if all of the images are the same size.

We are investigating other ways of making images square, such as scaling and padding. Until these options become available, you can use a free image editing program like Gimp to select a square part of your image to upload to Siafoo. This will prevent our software from chopping undesirable parts off your picture.

Siafoo converts all uploaded images to Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format, because it's a lossless format and because we can scale the images on the fly without worrying about compression settings. This should work in most cases, but we understand that there might be some corner cases where it might not. Please let us know link about any problems this causes.

No! We can not see your password, no matter what. We do not actually store your password but instead the result of a one-way hash function on your password. This means that although the software can check if you entered the right password, it can not
recover the plain-text.

A common example of a one-way hash function is MD5. Since you are here, you probably know a little bit
about hash functions, but if you need a quick refresher check out the Wikipedia article on
Cryptographic Hash Function.
Or, if you require a hard core mathematical definition, and we hope you do, take a look at Mathworld's
page on Cryptographic Hash Functions.

The short answer is Yes, we can. Do we? No. We have the utmost regard for your privacy and will never read private content or messages
for our amusement. However, in the course of debugging crashes or futzing with the database, we may accidentally encounter or glance at something set as private.
